Taken in June of 2008, this photo is a close up of Ms. Paris Rose Wiideman. Paris is speaking in full sentences and is quite the chatterbox these days. We’re working on getting “Haris Wose” to “Paris Rose” and “Ohay” to “Okay”, but it’s so tough considering how adorable her words are.

Paris Rose is being much nicer to her sister Trinity this year, except for when she wants something that Trinity is in possession of, at which point she simply walks up and grabs it from Trinity’s hands.

This year Paris has seen the films Wall-E, Horton Hears a Who, Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, and last night she fell asleep during the first five minutes of Hancock (Daddy had free passes from his bday – thanks Deleon’s!).

Her favorite tradition is going with Daddy to Knott’s Berry Farm, throwing pennies into the fountain, riding Huff’n Puff, Red Barron Airplanes, the Snoopy Bounce, and the Playhouse. She doesn’t like the Log Ride too much. She says the water hurts her eyes. “That hurt my eyes” is basically how she describes why something is scary to her.

Okay, I’m a little behind on uploading photos. It’s been a hectic year, cut me some slack. Here’s a photo of Paris just after Christmas. Paris has been doing great. She has a bit of a cough like the rest of us, but is in good spirits and full of energy. She’s very talkative now. If something doesn’t work, it’s out of battleys. When she had an ear infection, we heard “ma err horz”. She loves Ho Ho Higgily’s and Chucka Cheese. Disneyland is “I go Mickey Mouse”.

Paris Rose dresses up as Tigger for Halloween 2007. We spent the evening skipping down the local neighborhood in La Mirada. Most of the lights were off, but we still managed to pack our bags full of sweets! Check out the photo below of Paris Rose in her Tigger costume.

Paris was kind enough to help her sister Trinity open her baptism gifts today, after Trin was officially welcomed into the Catholic Church this morning. Thanks to all of our family and friends who attended this wonderful milestone.

Little Miss Paris Rose can now understand about 50 percent of what we say to her; although she only speaks a few words still. She’s got the following words nearly perfect:

Johnny

Eyes

Nose

Ears

Mouth

Kitty

Mommy

Daddy

GeeGee (Great Grandmother)

More

Mine

Yah

…and of course, “No”

Sorry we haven’t had much time to upload photos to the galleries, we’ll do so very soon I promise! A special thanks to Steve’s pal Dimitris who took the photo above and the photo you see in her current banner – thanks Dimitris!

Okay, this picture’s a couple months old, but it deserves front page recognition for being one of Daddy’s favorites. Paris will be 19 months old November 23rd! She’s growing so fast and learning new words everyday. She still likes to push the power button on Daddy’s big screen TV while he’s trying to watch Lost, but I’m sure she’ll eventually find other buttons to push.

She’s into everything, and I mean everything! No amount of child-proofing will stop this little curious angel. Bathroom privacy? Ha! It’s so wonderful to watch her be so involved with our lives and interested in seeing and touching everything. We’ve both seen a lot of girls her age who just sit passively, almost numb to the world. Not Paris…..oh no, she’s not even a year and a half old and already everything is “mine”. (lol)
